Chapter 1754 - 395: A Life Saved, a Life Repaid
The vast sea stretched endlessly, Mingyue stood on the deck, her hem dancing in the wind, from the glow of dusk to the moon at its zenith, her resolute and tall silhouette seemed to become a statue.
"We can’t go further south; it’s close to Antarctica. Beyond Somali waters, pirates lurk there all year round. No one ever comes out alive, and leaving through the Red Bay Strait means going into a desolate ocean for thousands of miles, it’s courting death...."
The accompanying captain advised earnestly, finding this person too strange, always insisting on heading south, and soon they’d be out of the Red Sea and into Somali waters, where encountering Somali pirates would certainly mean death.
"I’ll pay you extra." Helian Liusheng pulled out a square box from his chest and opened it, revealing real gold inside, so dazzling it almost blinded the eyes.
"Oh, please spare me; what if something happens? How can I enjoy it with my life at risk? In the end, it’ll just feed the sharks. I only took this job because of President Lin, but now, you’d better seek another plan...."
The captain often shuttled across the sea and was familiar with it, but mentioning the Marion Pirates still invoked instinctive fear, preferring to earn less money than risk his life.
Without a word, Helian Liusheng turned around, walked out, and respectfully spoke to the back of Mingyue: "Family Head, are you sure you want to continue inwards?"
Mingyue’s gaze was calm and without warmth, raising her hand to her chest, "He’s in this direction, the feeling is strong."
Helian Liusheng gazed at the endless sea, as if it could never be seen to an end, and helplessness arose in his heart.
Even the mightiest powers appear so small and humble before nature.
"I will always support any decision made by the Family Head."
Helian Liusheng turned and left, tossing the box of gold in front of the captain, and just as the captain was shaking his head in refusal, a dagger was placed at his throat, and the captain was so frightened he didn’t dare to breathe, it was over, over...
A merchant ship sailed over the vast blue sea, a lone vessel drifting away with the wind, wandering without a destination.
The moon arched like a hook, a crescent moon hanging upside down over the sea, rising and falling with the jagged waves.
The moon over the sea is the moon in the sky.
She remembered the moon that night, big and round, the silver glow in the mirror reflected the girl’s picturesque face, her eyes filled with joyful expectation, and every time she thought of it, the tranquil heart lake, like the Dead Sea, always stirred slightly.
Miss, I’m sorry, I have disappointed your expectations.
Forgive my departure without a word, this road is high and far, extremely perilous, I can’t involve you.
With eyes slightly closed, a sigh escaped softly from her lips, carried away by the sea breeze, disappearing into the vast expanse of heaven and earth.
"Miss, that person has woken up," Helian Liusheng said softly.
Mingyue slightly arched her brows.
A person bent over and stepped out of the cabin, it was a young lad, his slender frame appeared fragile, his skin was a pale white from years without sunlight, so delicate that the bluish-purple capillaries beneath his hair were clearly visible, with exquisite brows and eyes, a pure and flawless demeanor, at first glance, he seemed as beautiful and gentle as a lady, yet the sudden glint of coldness in his clear eyes suggested he wasn’t as innocent as his appearance.
Such people conceal themselves the deepest, and are the most frightening.
Mingyue narrowed her eyes slightly, watching the boy walk out like a sick beauty, exuding a truly pitiful charm, such a person in ancient times would undoubtedly be the star of a brothel.
"I cannot repay the kindness of saving my life." His voice, compared to a man’s magnetic depth, had a touch of elegance and femininity.
Just when Mingyue suspected his next words would echo the old cliché "I will repay with my life," the boy softly said, "If there is a chance, I will repay your kindness as best as I can."
Mingyue said faintly, "No need."
This person was the boy she met on the dock before boarding, at the time he was being hunted, and the people protecting him had all died, with the boy on the verge of death. Mingyue wasn’t one to meddle without cause, but strangely, she intervened to save the boy at that moment. Initially intending to let the boy fend for himself, he fainted, and out of helplessness, Uncle Lau had to bring him on board.
After several days of coma, today he finally woke up.
This boy might bring disaster, but Mingyue had always acted on her whims, never caring about consequences.
The boy furrowed his brows, bearing a smoky, veiled melancholy that instinctively evoked sympathy, "To you it was just a small effort, but to me, it was a life-saving grace; my name is An Yue, and it is my honor to know you."
